Having been in the first year of women undergraduates at Hatfield College,
at Durham University, I had the intriguing honor of being refered to
collectively with my co-women as 'first baps'  - I still have the T0-shirt
to this day - the reverse reads 'and the land shall flow with milk and honey

lay down with the lamb ' ..........
